We celebrate and honor the life of Dr. Ralph Johnson
Dr. Ralph Johnson, Superintendent of the New Albany-Plain Local Schools from 1992-2005, passed away this past weekend. We honor the incredible impact Dr. Johnson had with many of our staff, families, former students, and communities. He was instrumental in the growth and development of our campus during his tenure at NAPLS.
For those who did not know Dr. Johnson, we share the following tribute to him by the New Albany Community Foundation in 2006 when he received the McCoy Award honoring his impact on our learning campus:
"Under his leadership, the district grew to over 3000 students with a highly qualified staff of over 500. The architect of the “Learning Community” concept, Dr. Johnson guided the construction of the Learning Community Campus. Under his leadership, public-private partnerships were forged, resulting in expanded opportunities for students.
While the beauty of the campus and the long list of collaborations form an impressive record of achievement, Dr. Johnson’s enduring legacy will be how he nurtured and instilled a love of life-long learning to the students he touched as Superintendent."
Please keep his family, friends, and members of our faculty and staff who were close to Dr. Johnson in your thoughts and prayers.
